Pelham, MAInc. 1738
Pelham is a small, residential town east of Amherst, with a wooded, hilly landscape and a housing stock of single-family homes on large lots. The town has a quiet, intellectual character — many residents are affiliated with UMass or the other area colleges.
For property professionals, Pelham is a small, moderate-to-upper market where the college-community demand and the rural setting create a niche market with limited transaction volume.
